The SafeWise Report released its “50 Safest Cities in Texas” report on June 5, 2017. To compile this report, SafeWise used the most recent FBI crime data from 2015 to analyze and rank these cities, which all have a minimum population of 10,000 people.

“Crime rates are dropping across the state, with Texas leading the way for diminishing urban crime rates,” SafeWise security analyst Rebecca Edwards said. “This is encouraging news that makes Texas a state to watch for innovative public safety initiatives. Even though the state’s overall property and violent crime rates are slightly higher than the national averages, every city that made our safest cities list is well below national crime rates.”
